PetscGetDate#

Gets the current date.

Synopsis#

PetscErrorCode PetscGetDate(char date[], size_t len)

Not Collective

Input Parameter#

  • len - length of string to hold date

Output Parameter#

  • date - the date

Note#

This function makes a system call and thus SHOULD NOT be called from an error handler.

Developer Note#

This function is called once during PetscInitialize(). It stashes the timestamp, and uses it when needed. This is so that error handlers may report the date without generating possible additional system errors during the call to get the date.
